Luxury. Used to live in shoe box.Had to get up before I went to bed and lick the road clean.
Actually, seriously, this is a disgrace that in 2013 that people are still in need of basic housing. That 90% of the world’s wealth is owned by 10% of the population is another blight on 21st century society.

If people live in sewer pipes, even in Columbia, that must be proof that “redistribution of income” through “socialism” does not work NOW, nor has it EVER worked!

OK, this does it for me!
I can’t believe that I live in the greatest country in the world and we cant even feed or house our own children much less the rest of the world.
The brain dead leaders of the USA should be ashamed, both parties, but they aren’t.
I know that it is just a comic, however, we can wage an unnecessary war in the Middle East, and Americans are still starving. What’s up with that?
I fought for this country in my time and just makes me angry all over again.
Thanks for letting me rant,
The old Sarge

Hey, let’s not forget the homeless kids in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Dozens of them live in the sewers of that city. Exactly, how many? Who the hell knows. I caught this item on cable TV. But news worthy it was, and it still is.

wrong The Thorny Dragon or Thorny devil Lizard uses its feet to transfer water to its MOUTH. It does not absorb the water through the feet. Plus like all Australian reptiles it is protected and there is NO legal trade or EXPORTS.

It’s really interesting how different reptiles have their own special trait that makes them unique!
